How long can the string of Fushou snail "transform" into snail food safety be stretched?
Recently, the incident about the sale of Fushou snail pretending to be a snail has aroused widespread attention, pushing the food safety issue to the forefront again, this invasive species dressed in the "snail coat", not only poses a threat to the ecological environment, but also because it may carry parasites, bringing hidden dangers to the health of consumers, so why can Fushou snail be on the table in a grand manner? What regulatory loopholes have been exposed?
Driven by profits, Fushou snail has become a "meal on a plate"
Fushou snail, native to the Amazon River basin in South America, was introduced to the mainland as an edible snail in the 80s of the last century, due to the lack of effective prevention and control measures, coupled with its own amazing reproductive ability, Fushou snail soon flooded in the southern region, causing serious harm to rice, callus and other crops, and was listed as the second batch of invasive alien species in the mainland
Despite its notoriety, some merchants are driven by profit to "package" it into snails in an attempt to make a profit, which is inexpensive and easy to catch compared to relatively high-priced snails, which provides convenient conditions for their "transformation", and some merchants even use special cooking methods to cover up the characteristics of snails, making them more difficult for consumers to identify
Can you tell the difference between a snail and a snail?
For ordinary consumers, it is indeed difficult to distinguish between Fushou snail and snail, especially after being processed by merchants, but there are still some subtle differences in the appearance of the two: the color of the shell of Fushou snail is yellowish and the screw mouth is relatively flat, while the snail shell is darker and the screw mouth is more rounded; The fleshy color of the snail is also lighter than that of the snail
It is difficult to be foolproof with visual observation alone, consumers should try to choose regular supermarkets or farmers' markets when purchasing, and check the relevant quarantine certificates, if they find suspected snails, they should immediately stop eating them and report to the relevant departments
Building a strong line of defense for food safety requires the joint efforts of many parties
From source prevention and control to market supervision, and then to consumer education, every link needs to strengthen management in order to effectively ensure the "safety on the tip of the tongue"
Relevant departments should increase the prevention and control of Fushou snails, carry out regular removal actions, and strengthen the supervision of farmers' markets and catering enterprises, severely crack down on illegal sales of Fushou snails, and also strengthen the publicity and education of consumers, popularize food safety knowledge, and improve their ability to distinguish and self-protection awareness
Keeping the table safe is everyone's responsibility
Food safety is related to everyone's vital interests, and requires the participation of the whole society, as consumers, we should be vigilant and not buy food from unknown sources and without quarantine; As a business, we should operate in good faith and put food safety in the first place, only when everyone takes action, can we build a "firewall" of food safety and make "safety on the tip of the tongue" more secure
